From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 198: The Process of Social Cultivation [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

Just when Li Yang thought he was going to use some tricks, this Taoist priest with thick beard actually just... knelt down.

He knelt very skillfully and naturally, as if he had practiced it a thousand times.

"I am the Chi Ming Daoist, the abbot of Shangjing Temple. I am extremely sorry for offending the power of Master Li."

The Taoist priest with thick beard spoke very naturally, without any of the arrogant look he had just shown when he was furious and threatening others.

Li Yang's emotions became a little incoherent after he was knelt down like this, and he pressed the Nanming Sword, which had already been protruding, back down.

Li Yang looked strange: "How did you recognize me?"

"The only person in the whole of China who could destroy my magic sword with a single finger and almost cripple one of my hands in such a casual conversation is Li Zhenren, who once defeated the Blood Demon, slew the Ghost King with thunder, saved southern and northern Sichuan from disasters, and punished the cherry blossoms in the toilet of the gods. He has an unparalleled immortal style and talent, and is the most gifted person in the world. My admiration for you is like the endless rushing of the river, and also like..."

Seeing that Chi Ming was about to recite his lines to him, Li Yang stopped him and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you recognize me just now?"

"Isn't it because you didn't take any action?" Chi Ming smiled awkwardly, without any embarrassment on his face.

"Haha, you know a lot about me."

"Of course. Although I am trapped in the capital, I have always been concerned about the situation in China. I often wish I could fight against the enemy with Master Li in person. You don't know that my admiration for you is like a surging river..."

"stop."

"okay."

Chi Ming blinked his eyes: "Master Li, the ground is a bit hard. I have high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids. Look..."

"Get up, get up."

Li Yang waved his hands, feeling like he had punched cotton. Before he could even use any strength, all his energy was drained out.

Well, I have to say that Chi Ming is objective and honest...

At this moment, Qi Qiansu and Chen Xiyan, who had heard the news, had arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Chi Ming, what are you doing..."

Qi Qiansu spoke in surprise, not knowing what was going on inside.

Chi Ming changed his expression and looked very calm: "Oh, I just had a brief exchange with Master Li, and Master Li gave me some pointers on a few moves."

"You call this a little?" Chen Xiyan looked at Chi Ming's right hand which was still bleeding, with a puzzled tone.

"Aiya, it's normal for people above Xiantian to have accidents when sparring, let alone a master like Li Zhenren?"

Chi Ming remained calm.

Although Li Yang's anger had subsided, he was still somewhat dissatisfied. The place you, Qi Qiansu, gave me turned out to be a very important place, and there were people shouting and killing him.

What the hell? He is not the Leopard Head. Why are you doing this to me at the White Tiger Hall?
After knowing the whole story, Qi Qiansu bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I didn't expect that Daoist Fellow Li, who just informed me this morning, would arrive in the afternoon. Daoist Fellow Chi Ming was in seclusion at that time, so I didn't have time to inform him."

Knowing that the whole thing was with Qi Qiansu, Chi Ming's right hand trembled in pain. If the steel sword had not been broken, he would not be able to defeat Lao Qi, and he would have to fight with him in the innate magic.

The thing that plays the huqin in the crotch, didn't you inform me that I was in seclusion? ! ! If I had slid to my knees one second later, the God-killing Sword would have been taken out, and I would have gone straight to see the Grandmaster? !
The misunderstanding was resolved, Qi Qiansu bowed and smiled and said he would treat the two of them to dinner at Wangfujing Restaurant tonight to apologize, and the matter was finally settled.

"It's understandable that Taoist Chi Ming is so nervous. This courtyard is indeed a top-level important place. Usually, there are only three of us going in and out. There are soldiers guarding outside. It's inevitable that a stranger who suddenly appears will be hostile."

Qi Qianshu smiled and explained the whole story to Li Yang: "This courtyard is where the book "Introduction to Qi Refining" that you saw was compiled, but in addition to "Introduction to Qi Refining", we are also compiling some other things."

"The second edition of 'Introduction to Equipment Refining'?" This was all Li Yang knew. His original intention this time was also to read the second edition of 'Introduction to Qi Refining'.

Qi Qianshu shook his head: "The second edition of "Introduction to Weapon Refining" is just a by-product."

"Let's go, let's go out first and talk while walking!" Qi Qiansu said as he pulled Li Yang outside.

The remaining Chen Xiyan had just stabilized Chi Ming's injuries. Looking at the silent Chi Ming, he asked curiously, "You said you and Fellow Daoist Li had a fight just now? How did it go?"

Chi Ming retracted his bandaged hands and put them behind his back:

"It's a pity to lose by one move."

After saying that, Chi Ming raised his head and followed Qi Qiansu and Chi Ming in front of him, leaving Chen Xiyan behind with an incredible look on his face.
-
"Oh, Taoist Chi Ming exists independently of the Taoist Alliance?"

At the Wangfujing Restaurant, four people were chatting in a private room.

"That's right. He doesn't even exist, but he simply cannot expose his innate cultivation outside, just like Huaguo's shadow."

Qi Qianshu tasted a bite of the vegetarian dish and explained, "Master Chi Ming even achieved enlightenment above Masters Chen Xiyan and Zheng Zhaoyuan, but after achieving enlightenment he could only stay in the capital, responsible for defending the capital to prevent evil cultivators from other countries or other abnormal events from disrupting the order of the capital."

To achieve enlightenment means to cultivate into the innate. According to the calculation of time, this Taoist priest with a thick beard had excellent talent and physique, as he was able to achieve this before Chen and Zheng.

Chi Ming cupped his hands and said, "I am really ashamed. I was able to achieve Xiantian with the help of the government. I have to repay this karma, so I can only stay in the capital and cannot leave. I have no chance to participate in the previous spiritual energy exploration and the beating of the Japanese devils."

Li Yang didn't care, he just lamented the depth of the official system. First there was the Sword Master Plan, and then there was this hidden innate. Who knows what else is hidden somewhere.

The dishes in the private room continued to be served. The waiters were all top-notch models and the dishes were extremely exquisite. Li Yang knew without even looking at the bill that if it were two years ago, he could not even afford a bowl of tomato egg drop soup in this restaurant.

No wonder Chi Ming was so noisy at the beginning, but he kept silent when he heard Qi Qiansu say that Wangfujing Restaurant would treat them.

Even though he had eaten all kinds of spiritual vegetables and plants in the morning, Li Yang still started eating in this private room. "Fellow Daoist Qi, you said before that the Siheyuan in Shangjing Temple seemed to be compiling something important? I wonder what it is?"

Qi Qiansu calmed down and spoke slowly: "The standard foundation-building textbook for inducing qi and awakening the spirit in the inner alchemy method."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole box fell silent, and Chi Ming was even more shocked. How could you just casually say such a confidential matter in this restaurant box?

Li Yang was also silent for a while.

He didn't expect the authorities to be so bold.

"Where is it used?"

"The military, and the Taoist academies that will be opened in the Taoist League branches in various provinces."

“When will it be activated?”

"Probably next year, or the year after at the latest."

If this news were to get out and spread in society, it would absolutely be earth-shattering.

The "Introduction to Qigong" is just like some radio gymnastics, but it's a method of practicing Qi and awakening the spirit, which can bring about extraordinary transformation in people.

That is the natural barrier between the spiritual world and ordinary people.

In society, there is a group of people doing radio gymnastics and a group of people practicing qi-induction. These are two very different concepts.

One is so noisy that you can't sleep, and the other is so noisy that you dare not fall asleep.

“Although the Dao League claims to have ninety-six Dharma lineages, the inner alchemy methods passed down by each sect are basically slightly different, and the ceilings are also different.”

Qi Qiansu cleared his throat and said, "Among the ninety-six Dharma lineages, there are only 32 that have practice inheritance, which is exactly 1/3. The inheritance of these 32 families is different, mainly divided into Quanzhen and Zhengyi."

"There are 19 inner alchemy traditions in Zhengyi, of which only 9 can be cultivated to the Xiantian level, and only 3 can be cultivated to a level above the Xiantian level."

"Quanzhen is even more miserable. Among the 13 cultivation traditions, only 5 can cultivate to the Xiantian level, and 2 can cultivate to above the Xiantian level."

Qi Qianshu smiled and said, "Now, I am the only one who has memorized all the specific contents of these inheritances."

Li Yang also understood what Qi Qiansu meant: "That is to say, you will sort out a set of universal exercises that are most suitable for inheritance and teaching among these various inner alchemy traditions."

Qi Qiansu nodded, and Chen Xiyan beside him also explained: "According to the current development situation, at most in two years, the government will publicly announce the fact that spiritual energy has revived. At that time, it will definitely cause unrest. Everyone wants to practice cultivation and everyone wants to become immortal."

"Instead of doing this, it is better to compile a set of general exercises for the general public, so that those ordinary people who are confused and want to practice can have a direction. This exercise must not be spread wantonly, but ordinary people should have equal opportunities to access it."

In this way, ordinary people who want to get in touch with the cultivation of immortals have a complete set of processes. First, there is the "Introduction to Qigong" in middle school; then there is the college entrance examination to enter the Taoist Academy or the military to get exposed to the Qi-drawing and spirit-awakening cultivation techniques; if you are good enough to achieve spirit-awakening, further studies will mean being absorbed into the Taoist Alliance or the military and a hidden special bureau, to be taught the innate and above-innate techniques.

Li Yang smiled and said, "So the government set up the Taoist Academy and the military. As long as the cultivation methods are concentrated in these two places, ordinary people in China who want to cultivate immortals will have to choose between these two institutions in the future, which will also make it easier for you to select."

Chi Ming, who was standing by, understood Li Yang's implication. He had stayed in the capital the longest and was quite familiar with the official spiritual energy development plan drawn up by China. He then explained:

"This is indeed the case. This is also the most beneficial way to maintain social stability after China's spiritual energy revival is exposed to the public. Of course, cultivation forces such as Baiyun Mountain and Wutai Mountain can directly select from the public. Although they will not interfere, the government will definitely not help with publicity and will limit the number of disciples they can accept."

Li Yang looked at Qi Qiansu and Chen Xiyan and found that they nodded, obviously they also knew the inside story.

Li Yang felt like cursing in his heart. It was indeed a good decision for him to come to the capital this time. If he still stayed in Shuchuan and waited for these measures to be issued step by step, the decline of forces like Baiyun Mountain and Wutai Mountain would be inevitable. At most, there would be only a few masters to hold up the facade, and a few big cats and small cats.

Are the concepts of searching among the public and carefully selecting among all the candidates for the college entrance examination the same?

By the time you find a decent disciple, how many students suitable for cultivation can the Taoist Alliance's 36 Taoist academies recruit every year?

In addition, this is what I learned from the "Introduction to Qigong" in middle school. By that time, other people's third-generation disciples will have already been in seclusion to achieve the innate state, while your third-generation disciples are still memorizing the introductory formulas.

"Isn't this a bit too bullying? If it is passed down for another ten generations, and I am not around, won't my Baiyun Mountain be cut off?"

Hearing the coldness in Li Yang's voice, Chi Ming shrank his neck and dared not say anything more.

This guy has thick beard and big eyebrows, but he is good at adapting to the situation and switching between soft and hard tactics.

Qi Qianshu sighed, "I also anticipated that you, Daoist Fellow Li, would be dissatisfied. In addition, with your achievements and cultivation, you should know this, so I told you in advance."

Li Yang pondered for a moment and asked: "How much of the second edition of your "Introduction to Qi Training" has been written about the Qi-inducing and Spirit-awakening training methods?"

"The second edition of 'Introduction to Qigong' is still waiting for the feedback from the first edition. We will probably start writing it next week and it is expected to be completed within two months."

"As for the Qi-inducing and Spirit-awakening cultivation methods, I have almost sorted out the various sects' techniques, and the first draft will probably be ready before the end of the year."

"That's good, there's still time."

Li Yang nodded and bowed to Qi Qiansu and Chen Xiyan to express his gratitude. He knew that the two were intentionally helping him. Otherwise, when the policy came down in two years, even if his cultivation was so great, Baiyun Mountain would still be out of the mainstream.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, could you please help me contact Elder Xie and the high-ranking officials in charge of this matter? Some things really need to be laid out in the open."

Li Yang spoke up, he already had a plan in his mind, or he had had this idea from the beginning, and now it became clear to him.

Qi Qianshu and Chi Ming had just chatted and actually revealed the solution to this problem -

Turn Baiyun Mountain into a university and let it enjoy the same college entrance examination enrollment rights as the Taoist College under the Taoist Alliance!
